This image captures an urban scene at Place du Général de Gaulle in Metz, France, under a heavily overcast sky. On the left, a multi-story, light brown/beige stone building with Gothic Revival architectural elements is visible. Features include pointed arched windows with white frames, crenellated parapets, and decorative finials or small turrets along the roofline. This structure is the former Reichsbank building, now occupied by the Banque de France. On the right, a tall, slender, light grey/beige modern high-rise building, identified as the Tour du Centre de Vie Universitaire (also known as Tour Saint-Jean), dominates the right half of the frame. It features numerous rectangular windows arranged in a regular grid pattern across its many floors, with visible white external roller shutters on many panes. The building appears slightly tilted to the right due to perspective. The sky above is predominantly dark grey with dense clouds, although a lighter grey area is visible towards the upper right. No individuals, specific actions, or interactions are visible. A small amount of dark green foliage is discernible at the far right edge of the frame, near the base of the modern tower. The view is from a low angle looking upwards at the architectural structures.
